To me, I'll take whatever I can find just to not be sober. If I don't have what I prefer, I take something else. Which is what I've done today
I substitute one thing for another. I tell myself that I'll be okay as long as I have this, or that. Then when I run out of this & that, what do I do? I flip out like I did yesterday. Sure I may be 2 days of no opiates, but I've still taken other things.
